pi-quit

A tiny pi extension that changes the idle quit UX:

• first press of the app.clear keybinding shows a temporary hint
• second press within 500ms quits pi

Behavior

When pi is idle and the editor is already empty, the first press shows a temporary footer hint:

Ctrl+C again to quit

If you remap app.clear in ~/.pi/agent/keybindings.json, this extension follows the remapped key automatically.

When the editor contains text, the clear key still clears the editor first, and a second quick press still quits.

Install locally while developing

From this repo:

pi -e ./src/index.ts

Or symlink/copy the repo into one of pi's auto-discovery locations and reload:

• ~/.pi/agent/extensions/
• .pi/extensions/

Because package.json contains a pi.extensions entry, you can also point pi at the repo directory.

Install from npm (recommended)

Use the published npm package and pin a version:

{
  "packages": [
    "npm:[email protected]"
  ]
}

Or via CLI:

pi install npm:[email protected]

Notes

This uses a custom editor component instead of registerShortcut().

That is necessary because pi intentionally blocks extensions from overriding reserved built-in shortcuts like app.clear / Ctrl+C. By wrapping the editor and matching the configured app.clear action, the extension respects user key remaps.
